“I dedicate the award to my coach, to the people who helped me and to all of Bulgaria.” This is what Rushdi Rushdi commented after he decisively won the title in the shot put. This is the first gold medal for Bulgaria at the Paralympics.
His fantastic performance put him far ahead of his opponents. His result is 12 meters and 40 centimeters – almost half a meter ahead of the second competitor. This is the second Olympic title for Ruzhdi after the gold from Rio in 2021.
“I am happy that I managed to win the gold medal again. I did my best. I’m very happy that I’m climbing the high peak again,” said our Paralympian Rushdi Rushdi to NOVA.
